That big building will only seat 120 people? Is that a typo?

I read somewhere else that the terrace has 120 seats, not the whole restaurant.

Well it’s definitely a new look.

Maybe a bit better. But the light bulb colour against the dark wood behind the bed gives it a gloomy look. They could have gone for a lighter wood tone for a start.

Agreed, but keep in mind that with photography lighting and white balance can definitely look different in a picture than to the eye. so it might loek brighter in person.

It’s the best value on property though!

Oh it’s not.

Sequoia Loge is I'd say, that's what I was implying.

No. You weren't.

I see that now you’ve edited it. That’s much clearer and I’d agree with that FWIW.

 

[Baron Von Capybara]

What the hell is your problem?

Yes, I WAS.

I don't have a problem thank you for asking.
Your original post was incorrect.
Same as Martin has said. The edited version makes more sense. Bit it wasn't what you originally claimed.

I can't help but think this is a conscious jab at WDW. Was this approved before or after those responsible knew the MK RoA would be removed?

Why would they jab themselves?

Diabetes?

It’s not a jab.

It’s simply that, similar to the original Disneyland, DLP’s river is more integrated into the park and is more mixed use than Magic Kingdom’s was, which means they would have to sacrifice a lot more to get rid of it.

There’s a reason getting rid of MK’s river had been an idea going back to the Eisner days and yet they’ve done a lot of work to preserve the others as best they can. It was always the easiest one to do it too as it didn’t act as the base for lots of other things.

It appears Big Thunder closes for a couple weeks in July after Pirates reopens. Surprising timing.

 

[Sir_Cliff]

Always nice to see such care in restoring these details.

Is it though?

An unapproachable coaster on an island is scarcely more integrated than a hands-on two island exploration zone, with barrel bradges and cannons to shoot at Big Thunder trains.

The MK also had two steamboats, canoes and keelboats, once upon a time.

Not to mention, that the area from HM down to the Liberty Tree Tavern is designed as facing water. Hudson Valley, New England coastal town, Eastcoast colonial / Philadelphia-esque. They make as much sense without water as a dry Pirates of the Caribbean would.

Whereas DLP's Frontierland is inland architecture, Western, Southwestern, arid and desert.
